Also the fact that JPEG throws away a lot of data without us noticing is hardly a discovery, rather the stated purpose of the compression algorithm.

Just find some property of any counterexample that puts it in a different category and you never have to admit you're wrong. After all, no two events are ever completely identical, so there's always something to find.

Oh, I think people take a zero-sum approach in growing companies as well. Maybe even more so. https://spakhm.substack.com/p/how-to-get-promoted

What's the problem with nodes supporting or not some properties? For querying you can treat all nodes as supporting all things, and the user just needs to write a query that acutually works, which is what they would need to do anyway.
756.
by lucianbr 2y ago
For a query language, you can generalize to all nodes supporting all things. You will be able to write some queries that will never return results, at least in a given input data format. That does not seem so bad.

I just think that they wrote "fast-growing" as a positive attribute, when the logic of the comment would make it a negative attribute. Of course you can go looking again. But why not look for a slow-growing or not-growing small co

Aren't you afraid that the "fast-growing" small company will soon become a large company, with all the problems you mentioned you want to avoid?

Is it anything else than a tree with properties for each node? I think you could well apply jsonpath to yaml, except for the different data types, which is what makes you need xmlpath, jsonpath, file path, css and so on. If you're will

It's funny that the article explaining why it is good and necessary to have T+2 settlement also mentions that markets are moving to T+1 settlement. To me that seems like a contradiction. Must be my cluelessness talking.

Wouldn't it be more relevant to reduce the time it takes to settle trades? That seems anachronistic, like sending checks by snailmail. We have so many computers in the 21st century, and most money is digital already. Does settling&#x2F

I don't understand the objection to the names. You think someone who is not in the "Grafana world" would easier understand an arbitrary name like "Thor" than "Grafana Operator"? I have no clue what Mimir i

There is not a direct physical connection between the brake pedal and the brakes, or the acceleration pedal and the... not even sure what this would be. The n admission valves on the cylinders? Unless you consider "direct" as &quo

How large are the projects you worked on? Usually type safety is more useful and appreciated in large projects, where strict interfaces between modules are more valuable. In small projects, the advantage is for the loosy-goosy, because you

Granted, this isn't a usual occurence so maybe not a reasonable use case for the design. But man, when accelerating at max power due to a glitch, you need to look at the touchscreen to find the right place to slide your finger to switc

There is no "physics", unless you're relying on falling fast without a parachute or something like that. In this case you're relying on mechanics to be bug free as opposed to software. To imply that any car is designed a

Asserting that anything bad will push people into breakdown, psychosis, is plain wrong. Bad things happen to almost everyone some of the time. Do you see nearly all of the people on the planet broken down, pshychotic? If you do, I think the

You're right in a sense. But I wonder, what does it mean to say "we have enough resources to provide for all humans" when human nature itself makes it impossible to provide for all humans with the resources we have now. Pos

There's some useful insight here even if the percents are wrong. Whatever the numbers, even if 10% are Marias, they're still an untapped resource, if not "the biggest". And the fact that some of us have been this person

I mean, you could also write "of course whoever has servers closer to the exchange can do HFT better". "Of course companies that invested a lot in having servers closer will reap the advantages." No, expertise is not the

Isn't it well known for example that banks have some rules or algorithms that flag potentially illegal activity, and those rules are secret? Revolut just tells you your transaction is suspect and it will take more time to go through, o

I think Average Joe has quite a lot of disadvantages compared to some hedge fund or whatever it is that does HFT. Do you really think the only difference between them is a millisecond? That's only between HFT traders. My point was that

by lucianbr 3y ago
I find it sad that equal access between the entities doing HFT and regular Joes is not required for fairness, but god forbid one HFT having some milisecond advantage over another. That would be unfair. Can't have that.

I am curious about this as well. Maybe the details on how this was discovered are intentionally missing, so that would-be smugglers don't know how to avoid being discovered.

I think now EU member states are allowed to abandon DST if they want to. Nobody has so far, though.

One of the requirements could be maintainability, and the fact that is launched and operational and serving clients globally tells you nothing about that. You're basically arguing there is no such thing as tech debt, if a software work

Money trumps even the personal safety of the person getting the money. Look at the guy with the carbon fibre submarine. He literally sacrificed his life in the pursuit of profit.

Why doesn't anyone consider things like demotion, lateral motion or promotion contingent on an evaluation of fit for the target role? Must we jump directly to "never promote anyone" or "Stalin-type purges"? Are ther
